Samsung Galaxy Note 9 launched at mega NYC event

Samsung unveiled its next major smartphone at a New York event on Thursday. The unveiling of the Galaxy Note 9 comes about a month before Apple is expected to unveil new iPhones. It also comes as the smartphone industry has largely pushed the limits on hardware. In recent years, many of the new features from Samsung and Apple have been incremental rather than revolutionary. The Note 9 will be Samsung's second Note model since its Note 7 was recalled because of its tendency to burst into flames. (Text: AP)
